As of today, I'd take them in this order. 1. Brandon Roy 2. Rajon Rondo 3. LaMarcus Aldridge 4. Rudy Gay 5. Randy Foye 6. Jordan Farmar 7. Paul Millsap 8. Kyle Lowry 9. Ronnie Brewer 10. Andrea Bargnani 11. Daniel Gibson 12. Josh Boone 13. Leon Powe I guess Craig Smith, Thabo Sefolosha or Spanish Chocolate could be slotted in here somewhere. Wow, did this draft suck.
I would take Rudy and Aldridge over Rondo. This draft was terrible though. I would definitely take Powe, Thabo, Tyrus Thomas, and probably a lot more I'd take over Boone. Lackluster draft though.

No Alexander Johnson?! Here are a few players that are NOT on the list, along with where they were taken: Adam Morrison--3 Tyrus Thomas--4 Shelden Williams--5 Patrick O'Bryant--9 Saer Sene--10 JJ Redick--11 Hilton Armstrong--12 Ronnie Brewer--14 Cedrick Simmons--15 Rod Carney--16 Shawne Williams--17 Ollie Pecherov--18 Quincy Douby--19 Renaldo Balkman--20 Marcus Williams--22 Shannon Brown--25 I thought Carney would be a player, and was hoping that he would slip to the Nets.

As good as Rudy has been this season, Rondo was the starting point guard for a championship team, has been in the league longer and has solidified himself as a great point guard. I'd take him ahead of Rudy.
Who cares that he was on a championship team, that team also had ray allen, kevin garnett and paul pierce on it. 3 guys better than anyone on the memphis grizzlies. Rudy Gay is a better player and if I were to build a team through a draft, I sure as hell would take Rudy Gay over Rondo by at least a round.
I think Aldridge and Gay are both objectively better players than Rondo, but I would draft Rondo over them based on his position and unique skill set.
In that instance I probably would take Rondo over Rudy, it just would depend on if I needed a legit scorer/shooter or a good defensive distributor
Millsap's ahead because I failed at rearranging ghoti's list into my list. Bad mistake. Bargnani's ahead because I think he'll become a better player over the next two seasons.
